DIN EN 12059:2012-03

This European Standard specifies requirements for natural stones for dimensional stone work primarily used for monuments and for dimensional components. It does not apply for masonry, does not refer to aggregates and artificial stone, and does not cover installation. With respect to the previous standard from 2008, in particular the information about designation of origin and the compressive strength test have been modified. The product standard is directed at manufacturers, distributors and users of natural stones for dimensional stone work. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 062-03-11 GA "Gemeinschaftsarbeitsausschuss NMP/NABau: Naturwerkstein; Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Terminologie" ("Joint working group NMP/NABau: Natural stone; Requirements, test methods and terminology") at DIN.
